Heh, anyone with a simple understanding of electricity and magnetism could debunk this garbage. Its amazing how often it crops up though.

Leave it to a brit to write about it.

Actually, periodic magnetic polarity reversals in Earth's history are extremely well established. If you're trying to say that "anyone" could "debunk" that notion, you're very mistaken.

However, it's less well known what happens *during* a reversal, so predictions about the Earth "roasting" are indeed mere speculation.

For some introduction to geomagnetic polarity reversals, see:

And anyone with a complex understanding would know they're wrong...

This is probably developed by the same idiots who advertise the "free" energy machines using the earth's magnetic fields in the popular science mags.
